Abstract: | A subcellular fraction which can synthesize viral RNA and subgenomic RNA in vitro was prepared from tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-inoculated tobacco protoplasts. S(1)-Resistant fragment analysis with strand specific TMV cDNA showed that a large amount of plus-stranded and a small amount of minus-stranded, genome-size RNA was synthesized by this subcellular fraction. Plus-stranded subgenomic RNA of coat protein mRNA size was also synthesized. The time course of the appearance of viral RNA synthetic activity was consistent with that of the appearance of TMV infectivity in vivo. |
